Grilox posted:Did I miss a part in my childhood where I was supposed to refer to people by their full names in my head? Tiggum posted:I guess so. And not just in your head either. Have you never heard little kids talking about school friends and referring to them by full names all the time? I have a close friend who is always calling me by my full name. She's a weirdo, though, so she might not be a good example to go by. Luann  Of course not! Why show any of the new characters when we can drag back all these old extra characters we just went through all this trouble to jettison? Looks like the only characters who actually got cut from the strip for reals were The Black One and The Latina One. And Gunther, I guess. (The Whitest One?)

Julet Esqu posted:The Amazing Spider-Man Newspaper Spider-Man owns several micro-miniaturized tracker/transponder units that (iirc) he has somehow configured to be perceptible via spider-sense, but this is his idea of a discreet audio recorder, and he feels super clever about it and everything.

Tiggum posted:This comic is so irritatingly inconsistent. It gets so boring sometimes, but then it jumps to a new story and suddenly I'm totally invested again. I really want to see what Blaze is going to do now. I'm pretty sure B-B Eyes is not going to like it. What is that in his mouth? His tongue? His teeth?

I've decided to try slicing the scans in half, so that it'll display easier and I won't have to mess around with reducing the size. In today's John Darling, John goes into the thinly-disguised Studio 54, even though last strip, he discovered that it is no longer popular. The man to John's right is a Shriner, whose presence indicates that the club is no longer exclusive. "Jackie" is Jackie Kennedy, who in the late 70s was kind of a fashion icon. "Farrah" is Farrah Fawcett, actress and sex symbol who eventually died of anal cancer. I'm not sure who "Lisa" is. Punchline to this strip: John does not understand People magazine's editorial strategy of reporting on things that are popular as opposed to unpopular.

Studio 52 was in trouble at the time, with the club getting raided and the owners getting arrested for tax evasion. Also, I'm wondering if "Lisa" is actually Liza Minnelli, who was a regular at the club at the time.

Non Sequitur Jesus, Wiley, get off it. My banker was extremely nice, and helpful throughout the life of my mortgage -- which I just paid off in September. The interest rate was excellent. The bank sent me a gift basket with a congratulation card signed by the personnel. Ya know.. they're allowed to make a little money too. Heavenly Nostrils caught up so here're two.  A candy vomiting dragon is the coolest thing.  I laughed at "the willpower of a 9 year old". 9 Chickweed Lane 11/1/2003  What? Brooke must've been drunk. Zits  teens_are_lazy.jpg Kevin & Kell

Not sure of the choice of the word 'blasted' here... I think 'scrawled' or 'smeared across' would have been better choices, but eh, I'm not a nationally syndicated cartoonist.

Think about it as if it's in a printed newspaper. I assume they use some kind of inkjet-like system for that kind of thing. So the caption is directed at your copy of the character, not the original.

The goon belief that something that's absolutely dogshit is actually fairly loving good because it has the right political opinion is something I'll never understand. The strips say bankers or politicians or whoever are bad, that doesn't change that they're poorly drawn, contain only the barest attempts at humor, and are exactly the same as every other lovely strip that stupid hack Wiley has ever drawn.

For another bit of '70s culture, note that John is sporting a white three-piece suit, unbuttoned black shirt, and gold chain -- in other words, John Travolta's outfit from Saturday Night Fever.
